Signatures
I was flipping through my manual the other day and noticed some interesting signatures on the first page. I recognize two (I think) as Dave McClellan and Doug Robinson.
I was wondering if anyone knew who the top signature belongs to or maybe even the story behind the signatures. The car is also signed (engraved actually) by Doug and Dave under the fuel filler cover. |

Re: Signatures
I am not sure I can help but I do have a copy of "The Heart of the Beast" signed by a lot of people including Anthony Young, Dave McLellan, Gordon Killebrew, Jim Perkins and others. I could not find a signature that matched the one you show in the upper left corner of the page and I can not decipher what the signature might actually be. However, looking through the book I did find name that appears the the closest to what it might say: Dick Guldstrand. He was famous for, among other things, exotic body kits and making a clean burning LT5 that ran on natural gas. Don't know what the "2k" might refer to. Anyway, that's my guess.--Bob

Re: Signatures
2K might be his annotation for the year 2000 since McLellan signed -00.
Is that Doug Robinson of BMR? Who helped build the '29 Ford Roadster... or another Doug Robinson? http://www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-...ford-roadster/ Nice signatures in your book, by the way!

Doug Robinson was the head of GM racing. He went on to be the Executive Director of IMSA after retiring from GM.
